The Property — Hotel New Fair Munich
Hotel New Fair Munich sits opposite the Messe trade fair grounds, so its lobby is all business-travel efficiency: clean lines, a 24-hour desk, and a breakfast room that fills early with suited delegates. The rooms are functional and quiet, with blackout curtains and decent Wi-Fi — no frills, but dependable. It suits trade-fair visitors or anyone who wants solid value, a tram stop outside, and to be out exploring rather than lounging in a hotel bar.
Chronicles of München
Munich was founded in 1158 when Henry the Lion established a mint and market on the Isar, and its name derives from the Old High German 'Munichen' — 'by the monks'. The city grew rich as a salt-trade hub, then as the Wittelsbach dukes' capital, leaving a Baroque and Rococo legacy in buildings like the Residenz and Nymphenburg Palace. After WWII levelled 70% of the medieval core, reconstruction largely recreated the old street pattern but used simpler facades, creating that unique mix of historic-looking but actually modern cityscape. Today Munich is a prosperous tech, biotech and automotive hub — home to BMW, Siemens and a clutch of startups — with a cultural pulse that balances beer halls, world-class museums (Pinakotheken, Deutsches Museum) and a fiercely green, bicycle-friendly mindset.
Best Time to Visit
Full München guide →Best months
May and September: mild temperatures (15-22°C), long daylight, fewer crowds than summer peaks, and gardens like the Englischer Garten are lush.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak summer tourist season — the city swells with travellers and hotel prices spike 20-40%. The only major event driving this is general European holiday traffic; Oktoberfest (Sept–Oct) is actually the true price peak for the year.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: cooler but dry, significant discounts on rooms, far fewer queues at museums, and the pre-Oktoberfest or post-Oktoberfest atmosphere is still lively without the crush.
Weather & packing
July in Munich can swing from a balmy 28°C afternoon to a sudden thunderstorm. Pack a light waterproof jacket and comfortable walking sandals that can handle puddles.
Live City Briefing — München
- Munich's U-Bahn network has extended its weekend night service to run every 20 minutes until 2 a.m., making late-night returns from the city centre to Messestadt Ost easier.
- The city completed a major renovation of the historical Hofbräuhaus beer hall interior in late 2025 — it's still open but some seating areas are newly refurbished and may be different from previous visits.
- From July 2026, a new bus line (CityRing 71) connects Hauptbahnhof directly with the Kunstareal museum district, bypassing the congested tram routes.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel New Fair Munich, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Karl-Schmid-Straße). These upper floors reduce street noise and the courtyard side limits tram rumble from the nearby line.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor and any room facing Karl-Schmid-Straße directly. The 1st floor gets lift lobby and front desk buzz, and street-facing rooms catch tram and traffic noise from early morning till late evening.
Best views
Rooms looking over the inner courtyard give a calm, green view of the surrounding buildings — no dramatic landmarks, but peaceful. Street-side rooms see the tram line and busy road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are the quietest — higher than street-level disruption but below the roof terrace (if there is one) that might host breakfast or smokers.
🔊 Noise notes
Karl-Schmid-Straße carries tram line 19 and buses (routes 190/191) from about 5am to midnight. A taxi stand outside adds engine noise. The hotel has no soundproofing upgrade listed, so courtyard rooms are essential for sleep.
Insider tips
1. If driving, ask for a parking spot in the hotel garage upon booking — spaces are limited and the street has restricted parking zones. 2. Check-in can be busy after 3pm; aim for 2pm or after 6pm for a quicker process.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Munich Airport (Central Area) → Hauptbahnhof (Arnulfstraße stop)
💡 Luggage space is generous, and it's cheaper than the S-Bahn but slower due to traffic. From the drop-off, walk 5 mins south to Goetheplatz – no tube needed.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Munich Central Station (Nord)
💡 Drop-off is at the north side of the Hauptbahnhof, a 7-minute walk to the hotel. Cash only on board, but contactless works if you buy online in advance.
Munich Airport (MUC) → München Hauptbahnhof (central station)
💡 Use the S8 instead of S1 if possible; the S1 splits at Neufahrn and the wrong half can add 15 minutes
Munich Airport, Terminal 1 → Pasing station (then S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Only use this if the S-Bahn is disrupted; otherwise slower and more complicated than the direct train
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hotel Verdi (near Hauptbahnhof)
💡 Buy a single-day ticket for the inner zone if you're staying in the city—it covers your return too. The S1 splits at Neufahrn; make sure you get on the branch going through the main station, not the one via the east.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Pension Haus Wendelstein (U-Bahn Münchner Freiheit)
💡 Buy a single-ticket for the airport (Kurzstrecke won't work). The S1 splits at Neufahrn, so ensure you're on the right branch for city centre—S8 is more straightforward.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (Central Station)
💡 Bypass ticket machine queues by buying via MVG app or DB Navigator. Validate ticket at platform stampers before boarding.
Munich Airport (MUC) → Hauptbahnhof (main train station)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take the U-Bahn U2 (direction Messestadt Ost) one stop to Goetheplatz, then walk 3 mins to Hotel Goethe. Buy a day ticket for €15.50 if you plan more trips.
Münchner Freiheit → Pension Haus Wendelstein
💡 Honestly, skip the bus—it's a 5-min walk. If you're arriving with heavy luggage, the walk is flat and pavement is good. Bus 142 runs in a loop from the station stop to Dietlindenstraße, one street over.
Hauptbahnhof → Goetheplatz station
💡 This is the quickest hop from the main station to the hotel. Use the exit 'Goethestraße West' – it's a 2-minute walk to the hotel entrance.
Hauptbahnhof → Pension Mayr (stop: Schwanthalerhöhe)
💡 Scenic route if you're not in a rush. Get a day ticket (€8.80) if doing multiple trips — good value. Tram stops are less crowded than U-Bahn.
Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) → Theresienwiese station (5-min walk to Pension Mayr)
💡 From Hauptbahnhof, take U5 direction Neuperlach Süd; avoid U4 during Oktoberfest as it's packed. Exit at Theresienwiese not Hackerbrücke.

Top Attractions in München
💡 Walk through the Hofgarten behind it for a quiet spot. The main entrance is free but the treasury costs. Stick to the courtyards.
💡 Don't pay for the tower climb—the free view from the nearby Petersplatz steps gives a nearly equivalent panorama. The crypt is often empty and serene.
💡 Grab a cheese or sausage snack at one of the standing tables – no cover charge. The beer stand near the maypole is run by local breweries and pours cheaper than tourist spots.
💡 Go early on a weekday for fewer crowds. Don't buy bottled water here—it's cheaper at any supermarket nearby. Try the Obatzda cheese spread.
💡 Thursday evening after 5pm often has free entry to the main collection. The film museum downstairs is separate and cheap, not free.
💡 Enter from Odeonsplatz. Bring a picnic and sit by the central fountain — free and rarely crowded.
💡 The free museum shows a 10-minute film about Munich's history in a restored vault. Best part: the courtyard has a free public toilet and a nearby bakery for cheap pastries.
💡 Avoid the upstairs restaurant. Head to the main hall downstairs – it's rowdy, authentic, and you'll share a table with strangers.
